Failure


Can’t ever know what it’s like to fail. Took a deep breath and I never exhaled. So much pressure to succeed, indeed I know I have a little sister looking up to me. Now the time has come and I question myself, Will I prevail or fail like everyone else. 5 seconds on the clock and there's nobody I can pass to but myself. Clock’s runnin down 2 seconds left, I look to my right and I look to my left. I took the shoot and hear the buzzer ring. Can only hear the crowd sing. I finally exhaled, I know that I prevailed Failure can stay where it’s at I got his front and success has my back.
